Prone ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Prone positioning has been used for many years in patients with acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with no clear benefit for patient outcome. Meta-analyses have suggested better survival in patients with an arterial oxygen tension (PaO2 )/inspiratory oxygen fraction (FIO2 ) ratio <100 mmHg. A recent randomised controlled trial was performed in ARDS patients afte...
متن کاملMechanical ventilation of acute respiratory distress syndrome
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been intensively and continuously studied in various settings, but its mortality is still as high as 30–40 %. For the last 20 years, lung protective strategy has become a standard care for ARDS, but we still do not know the best way to ventilate patients with ARDS. Tidal volume itself does not seem to have an important role to develop ventilator-in...
متن کاملMechanical ventilation and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome continues to be a high-mortality condition. The role of mechanical ventilation remains primarily a supportive modality. Recent research has elucidated the adverse impact of traditional ventilation strategies on development of the disease and, ultimately, mortality. The institution of low tidal volume ventilation has been the only intervention that has resulte...

To the Editor: Limiting plateau pressures in the respiratory system of patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) to 28 to 30 cm H2O may help guarantee lung protection. In the large multicenter Express trial, Dr Mercat and colleagues set positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) as high as possible to avoid plateau pressure above 28 to 30 cm H2O (mean, 27.5...
متن کاملHigh-frequency oscillatory ventilation for acute respiratory distress syndrome.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of HFOV in pediatric patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. METHODS In this retrospective study, we reviewed all 20 pediatric patients, who were consecutively ventilated with HFOV in the pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary medical center, from January 2006 to February 2007. RESULTS A total of 20 patients were enrolled. The median a...
